Going concern

Affirmed

“The Board believes that the Company is well placed to manage its financing and other significant risks satisfactorily and that the Company will be able to operate within the level of its facilities and meet its liabilities as they fall due, for at least the next three years. For this reason, the Board considers it appropriate for the Company to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During the year we opened our first inner London store; took our first steps outside the UK with the acquisition of Home Focus in Ireland; acquired the brand and design archive of Designers Guild; and extended UK manufacturing within our Made-to-Measure business.”
• “The introduction of 'geopolitical uncertainty' as a new principal risk reflects ongoing global tensions, trade disputes and regional conflicts, exposing vulnerabilities in retail supply chains and putting additional pressure on margins and costs.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
